"This reckless behavior puts lives at risk and is unacceptable," deputies said.
It remains unclear at this time if the driver was stopped by deputies.
A similar incident happened in Oviedo this week. Police said they clocked a driver going 54 mph in a 25 mph construction zone.
"Please, for the safety of everyone, slow it down in construction zones. We do not want to tell anyone a loved one, who works in these zones, was hurt or killed in a crash due to speeding," police said. "Plan your trips accordingly so you don't have to rush to get anywhere."
The driver received a citation.
